These are the dealers from Fitzgerald Park.

Re: Homeless camp on 40th & Hollis

There have been several postings about getting rid of these unwanted tents. I called to report them last week. As far as I can tell, the police department has not responded. There also have been several references to these guys being the dealers who were kicked out of another camp. It is not acceptable. It is ludicrous that we tax paying citizens have to follow all the rules including paying property taxes, mortgages, rent, HOA fees, utilities, business licenses, etc. and these guys don’t have any rules or accountability at all. As a victim of several building break-ins, your immediate help is desired and required. Even during this shelter in place, they are not entitled to be squatting here, right? They can go to a shelter or jail if they are dealers. We Emeryville tax payers are supporting housing in conjunction with Oakland. Take them there. Please get rid of them or we will end up like the frightening messes in Berkeley and Oakland. Once it gets out of hand, it will be much more difficult. I can’t believe you will let this happen to Emeryville.

Please respond to me as well as to the SeeClickFix site.

Don't close until they're gone

Agreed. Everyone keep an eye out. What good is shelter in place and hand sanitizers and masks and social distancing if this filth is allowed? Enough.

Residents in this neighborhood who have to be out alone to pick up supplies for elderly or walk their dogs DO NOT feel safe. Civic Center is shut down, so area is deserted. There is increase in squatting and loitering on this block. Please prioritize this matter before this escalates to opportunistic crime. Thank you.

When will we have someplace to get the homeless off the streets?
Can't keep shifting them from one encampment to another.

Due to The Governor's Executive Order regarding Covid 19 the police department is restricted in this situation. The order states massive resources are assisting the homeless into shelters for everyones' safety. An officers who specializes in providing resources to the homeless made contact with the people at the location this week. The officer offered services to them and passed on the information to available centers to them. He also notified the centers about them. In addition, we are providing extra patrol in the area. If you have any questions, please contact us. Thank you, M. Lee #311

Nice, but this was reported before the Governor’s Executive Order. There was time to deal with this. No action.

The Fitzgerald dealers seem to have moved back to Fitzgerald Park.

That whole area is getting worse. Walking down 40th is not safe anymore.

This was reported the day the first tents arrived. It is not acceptable for them or us law abiding tax paying citizens of Emeryville.

Yup right as the first one popped up. I reported and so did others. Now I'm seeing more graffiti and thrash.

Earlier I drove by Fitzgerald park and the tent area was really clean, across 34th at the picnic table it was trashed
